Antique Candle Stick Lamps

The candle stick to our grandparents and reaching back for generations in time was the standard method for the illumination of the interior. They were produced in a wide range of materials, from inexpensive pottery to chased silver and gold. Designs were multiple and much thought and care was given to their making.

Today, while many candle sticks lie forgotten and ignored, this romantic style of lighting is being revived by The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co!. With their expert knowledge, candle sticks are transformed and reappear as objects of beauty and function. It really is "new light on an old subject" with the exchange from wax to electricity!

The candle sticks, their candle cups now fitted with faux candles, retain their original look beautifully. Their usually slender form is fitted with a 25w globe and designed for a small sized lamp shade. They can look very much at home on a desk, hall table or side board, adding an elegant touch to a wide variety of interiors, including as pretty little bed side lamps.

The company is well known for their interior designer range of classic lighting. Their lamps are entirely unique, designed in-house and bench made, with an on line catalogue of over one hundred lamps to choose from!

The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co currently have a choice range of candle stick lamps in polished brass, French and English, waxed English oak and a particularly charming Edwardian example of Chinoiserie decoration.

They also offer a hand made silk lampshade service to compliment. The decorative potential of lamp shades should never be underestimated. There are many ways of bringing colour into an interior and the use of coloured and patterned lampshades can make a bold contribution.
